The big Hallowe'en weekend
It's Back To The Grindstone Day for this hack. After a week of slacking off and doing very little, but I'm back at my desk working for a living again.
Several things were going on this past weekend, much of which revolved around Hallowe'en. Friday night, Rawl and I went over to Steve's and Brett's new apartment (same building, four floors up, one less bedroom) and drank. We picked up a Canadian beer called Red Maple, which is brewed with maple syrup. Bizarre, but pretty good. Unfortunately, the sugar in the maple gave me a weighty headache-style hangover on Saturday, which lasted until mid-afternoon.
Saturday was The Law's annual Hallowe'en party. Last year, he and Beth decided to give the party a theme (that being The Thirties), and it went really well. This year, there was no theme and a lot fewer people. A lot of us just crashed in front of The Law's big-ass TV and stared at Friday the 13th movies all evening. I didn't drink anything, as I still felt I was recovering from the night before, and then Jacquie and I took off about midnight.
Last night was All Hallow's Eve itself, and Jacquie and I just watched DVDs while she went to the door and handed out treats to all the little ghosts and goblins that came around. I hate being on door duty, so I didn't really help out there at all. I'd rather shut off all the lights and ignore the trick-or-treaters than hand out candy, but I think Jacquie likes to see all their costumes.
It wasn't the most exciting of Hallowe'en weekends, but it was okay.
